GULC Waiting Thread Forum

Yeah, it's kind of weird though bc they are supposed to reach a decision by Monday, aka 4 days from now. I'm guessing they don't work on weekends, so they probably should reach a decision by tomorrow.... I want an update!!! And by update, I mean a letter saying 'Congratulations!'

Haha I hear that. That's awesome that your three weeks is up on Monday! I wish I was in the same boat.. I have to wait until next Friday... sighhh

Is anybody applying to the Public Interest Law Scholars program?

Hey Flow. I was wondering if you've seen any activity on your status tracker. Your decision date is almost here!

Ah me too.. they have 1 week from today to decide my fate...

Interview request today. Interesting, I didn't remember they do this. Quick turnaround, surprised to hear anything so early.

Anyone know what this suggests? They're probably not going to interview someone who they were about to reject, but I don't know if this means I'm borderline to them or they're trying to gauge my interest or what. In any event, it'd be nice to be able to speak to an alumni.

Wow, that's interesting... I can't imagine it's a bad thing. At the very least it shows that they're interested in you! Are you an ED applicant?

I got an interview with alum request today. Not ED.

[MillerTime]

Yea, I doubt they would do it for ED. Not enough time with their three week turn around. Congrats for those with interviews! It's a great opportunity

When did you apply/ are you under review?

After searching TLS it seems like interviews are granted to borderline candidates (splitters/reverse splitters, i.e. 171/3.2 or 168/3.9). Also seems quite useful:

This information was distributed directly from Georgetown:

Admissions Decisions for Interviewed Applicants for 2008:
39% put on Preferred Waitlist
37% Admitted
7% Denied
17% General Waitlist


useful, no?

Those aren't the sexiest of odds. At least there's a 93% chance you won't get denied.

I dunno, I think it's not too bad considering interviews are mainly for splitters/reverse splitters.

So when do RD decisions come out?

So when do RD decisions come out?

Looks like they started coming out mid-Oct last year. Since we've passed that, I would expect earliest to be early November.

[suspicious android]

First couple of days of October, RD, 75 LSAT/25 gpa splitter.

[Deuce]

Does that chart include ED tho? Pretty unrepresentative of RD if it does...

[jd2014!]

This is what I'm saying... anyone know when first RD admits were released last year?

[bk1]

It must. But still, the number of ED applicants is small.

Just had my date for "complete" on my status checker update again. Submitted 10/04, first complete date was 10/08 i believe, second complate date was 10/13, current complete date 10/22.

Mine is still 10/20...but then again you didn't have a 10/20 complete date. I wonder what it all means...

*edit* wow, you're in at Duke? Did you ED to GULC?

[bk1]

Each time the date changes I assume that means they have opened/accessed your file.

God No.. RD. Had a fee waiver so it only cost me 12 bucks and I wouldnt hate gtown.

[cigrainger]

Are we assuming we're going to see some serious movement next week? The first big round seemed to be 10/26 last year according to LSN.
